I don't understand the controversy here. If you go to the USAC page and look at each silver crown event the information about tires is listed clearly. If you are a car owner/entrant I am sure you are aware of this and given the information. It is listed in black and white clearly for each event. There is /was no conspiracy.

"Told" by who ? why would you not go with what is clearly listed in the event information. Why was every other team using the correct tire ? So you think someone told them it was OK so they would be put to the back and DQ'd ? If so let's hear who told them it was OK and why they think a rule change would come out at the track without some type of official notification. This controversy is just stupid.
